This is cool, and a great improvement over the previous generation Yamaha product. However, "Brass Resonance Modeling" may be confusing to some non-tech savvy consumers as it sounds similar to "physical modeling," a method of synthesis. The technology improvements are not synthesis, but rather a non-generative process more similar to a pair of noise-canceling headphones.


Can you cite any more specific info? I'm very curious. From the demos, the sound externally and direct is pretty much equivalent to the silent brass system I picked up in 1999, but without that huge bulb sticking out of the bell of course!


If anyone is interested in brass physical modelling, there are some neat sound examples here: http://www.ness-music.eu/target-systems/brass-instruments
